Adalat CC XL is also used to treat high blood pressure. Adalat CC and Adalat CC XL are calcium channel blockers. They ease the workload of the heart by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the arteries, allowing them to dilate. This improves blood flow through the heart and throughout the body, reduces blood pressure, and helps prevent angina. Adalat CC XL is taken once a day and provides a steady rate of medication over a 24-hour period. Most important fact about Adalat CCIf you have high blood pressure, you must take Adalat CC XL regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Adalat CC XL; and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Adalat CC XL does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control. How should you take Adalat CC?Adalat CC and Adalat CC XL should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms have disappeared. Adalat CC XL tablets are specially designed to release the medication into your bloodstream slowly. As a result, something that looks like a tablet may occasionally appear in your stool. This is normal and simply means that the medication has been released, and the shell that contained the medication has been eliminated from your body. Adalat CC and Adalat CC XL tablets should be swallowed whole. Do not break, crush, or chew. Adalat CC and Adalat CC XL can be taken with or without food. Adalat CC should be taken on an empty stomach. Do not substitute another brand of nifedipine for Adalat CC or Adalat CC XL unless your doctor directs. Adalat CC XL should be taken once a day. You can take it in the morning or evening, but should hold to the same time each day. --If you miss a dose... Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions... Adalat CC and Adalat CC XL can be stored at room temperature. Protect from moisture, light, humidity, and excessive heat. What side effects may occur?Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine whether it is safe for you to continue taking Adalat CC or Adalat CC XL.
Why should Adalat CC not be prescribed?Adalat CC should not be used if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it or are sensitive to it or other calcium channel blockers (Adalat, Calan, others).
